Why keepers switch to Reptilytics
Free, with room for your whole collection
No credit card, no 10-animal cap and no paywall on breeding tools. Track up to 500 animals, reptiles and amphibians alike.
Your records tell you something
Growth charts, missed-meal and stalled-weight warnings, and anonymous community benchmarks show how your animals compare with others of their species.
The whole enclosure, not just the animal
Log basking, hot-side and cool-side temperatures, humidity and UV index against targets, and keep a record of the gear in each enclosure.
Breeding and genetics done properly
Pairings, clutches, individual eggs and incubation in one record. Hatchlings inherit their parents, family trees build themselves, and morph names come from a curated gene list with a built-in genetics calculator.
Science next to your animals
Every species page brings together care facts, published research and natural history notes from the herpetological literature, each linked to its source.
Any device, nothing to install
Reptilytics runs in your browser on phone, tablet or computer, so your records are the same wherever you open them.
Questions keepers ask
Can I move my records from another app?
Not automatically yet. If you have a spreadsheet export from another app, send it to us and we'll help.
Is a spreadsheet enough?
For a few animals, often yes. Apps earn their place when you want reminders, growth charts, breeding records that link parents to offspring, or comparisons with other keepers' animals.
Who can see my animals on Reptilytics?
Only you, unless you make an animal public or share it with another keeper.
